BEFORE INSTALLATION


Files delivered in this hot fix will be backed up during the installation process.
However, it is recommended general practice to back up your system before applying updates to the software. This step should be required if you have a customized version of cds.properties. This file is contained in sas.analytics.crm.ciutilities.ear. This file resides in the directory below:
    <SASCONFIGDIR>\Web\Staging.
Be sure you save a copy of the existing cds.properties before continuing this installation.

INSTALLATION

  1. The A84001la.tar hot fix download package is a single tar file that contains individual hot fix packages for the components listed above.
    Copy this file to your location of choice, then extract the contents using the following command:

    tar -xvf A84001la.tar

    This will create an A84001 directory which contains the following files:
    A74001la.bin
    A83001la.bin
    B41001la.exe
  2. Copy A74001la.bin to each machine where SAS Customer Intelligence Utilities 5.3 is installed.
    Copy A83001la.bin to each machine where SAS Customer Intelligence Processes 5.3 is installed.
    Copy B41001la.exe to each machine where SAS Customer Intelligence Core Mid-Tier 5.3 is installed.

  3. To install each individual hot fix, verify that the installation binary has execute permission. If it does not, use the chmod command to make it executable.
    $> chmod 755 A74001la.bin
    -or-
    $> chmod 755 A83001la.bin
    -or-
    $> chmod 755 B41001la.bin
  4. Set your $DISPLAY environment variable
    $> export DISPLAY=<your_node_name>:0
  5. Execute the hot fix .bin package:
    $> <path_to_bin_file>/A74001la.bin
    -or-
    $> <path_to_bin_file>/A83001la.bin
    -or-
    $> <path_to_bin_file>/B41001la.bin

    For example:

    $>./A74001la.bin

    This will initiate the installation wizard, which will guide you through the hot fix installation process. During the installation you will be prompted for the SASHOME location to be updated. You should provide the path to the top level SAS directory where the deploymntreg directory exists.
